Toys for Kids - Hardcover
From Library Journal:
Thorough but simple would best describe instructions for the 60 gifts in the book by Higgins, a teacher and craftsperson. While a jigsaw is necessary for 13 projects, the rest can be completed with a minimum of equipment or expertise. Story tapes, seat covers, and backpacksas well as nursery essentials such as fitted crib sheets, quilts, and pillowscan be quickly and attractively completed. While some of Higgins's diagrams have to be enlarged by the user, all of the patterns in the book by Stacey ( Cakes for Kids ) and Kemp are full-sized and easy to trace. Unfortunately, all the measurements for this attractive, beginner-level sewing book are metric and some use British terms: poppers, an old woolly, 55p, elasticated, or a 10cm zip may prove "a bit fiddly" to would-be crafters. Jean M. Benson's Soft Toys to Stitch and Stuff (Doubleday, 1983) had twice as many basic patterns of similar species, and the Woman's Day Book of Best Loved Toys and Dolls , compiled by Julie Huston ( LJ 6/11/82), while requiring more creative skills, had more interesting and unusual projects. Christine Bagley, formerly with Scranton P.L., Pa.
